Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you
have selected the appropriate size cuff:
Wide-Range Adult Cuff fits arm circumference:
8.6"—16.5" (22—42 cm).
Additional cuffs are available for order on the included
order form or by calling 866-326-1313.
A 15 minute resting period is needed to stabilize the
body prior to taking a reading. No eating, drinking or
smoking while resting.
Applying the Arm Cuff
Remove any constrictive clothing or
jewelry that may interfere with cuff
placement. Wrap the cuff snugly
around your left arm. Position the
cuff's bottom edge half an inch
ABOVE the elbow joint. Position the
air tubing over the main artery (on
the inside of your arm). You should
be able to insert one finger between
your arm and cuff.
